RIP

blodgett

Was sad to hear to the passing of Michael Blodgett, who was so memorable in Russ Meyer’s 1970 cult masterpiece Beyond the Valley of the Dolls as L.A. studmuffin Lance Rocke. As rock promoter “Z-Man” Barzell (John La Zar) describes Lance: “Greek God and part-time actor. See how he performs. His is a special talent. The golden hair...the bedroom eyes...the firm young body. These are the tools of which he plies his trade. All are available for a price.” Blodgett, who also acted in such movies as The Velvet Vampire (1971) and alongside Kirk Douglas in There Was a Crooked Man (1970). He was also a novelist (Captain Blood, The White Raven) and wrote screenplays (with Dennis Shryack) such as Rent-A-Cop (1987) and Turner & Hooch (1989). But he’ll always be burned into my brain as the cocky, sexy, Lance Rocke getting beheaded in Beyond The Valley of the Dolls.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

Brik Mason was one of the easiest people I had to work with during my wedding. He was extremely accommodating with all of my requests and always prepared to meet my needs. During my reception he surpassed all of my DJ needs. He was at the place before me, ready to go and had indeed brought every single song I requested. He was tremendously approachable, listening and fulfilling all guest requests and making even the most timid child at ease when requesting a specific song. Throughout the night he kept us all dancing and energized with a desire to never leave the dance floor. He kept our spirits up the entire night and it wasn't until the wee hours of the morning until we realized how fast he truly made the time fly.-Miriam Shapiro(Bride)

Dj Brik Mason has DJed 3 benefits for me. He’s great! His timing is perfect and he knows how to feel out a crowd and pick just the right songs to either keep things going or transition the room. He’s also just a very nice guy who’s easy to work with! -Elissa Harel, External Affairs Director(RAMAPO for Children)

DJ Brik Mason rocks a room (club, wedding, benefit - you name it!) like no other DJ out there. His mix of classic and new tunes will make even the most reluctant dancer feel at home on the floor. Whatever vibe you're looking for, you won't be let down - his cool charm and professionalism is a rare combination in any entertainer and the party never stops with Brik Mason behind the wheel.-Lissy Carr(Director-Party at the Piers)

Without question, the best DJ I have ever seen. He's got charisma to burn. Whatever the room, whatever the event, wherever it is, it's going to be a great time. -BRYAN DUNN(MUSICIAN/ARTIST)
